Context of Matthew 12:9
7If you had known what ‘I want mercy, not sacrifices’ means, you would not have condemned innocent people. 8“The Son of Man has authority over the day of rest—a holy day.” Jesus moved on from there and went into a synagogue. 10A man with a paralyzed hand was there. The people asked Jesus whether it was right to heal on a day of rest—a holy day, so that they could accuse him of doing something wrong. 11Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you has a sheep. If it falls into a pit on a day of rest—a holy day, wouldn’t you take hold of it and lift it out?
